This recipe is, quite simply, the best peach cobbler I have ever eaten - period. It has ruined me for any others. I will forever be in her debt! I made it once for a neighbor who has a peach tree (in exchange for peaches!), and he said it was just like his Mom used to make. A classic. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I suppose it could be made with frozen peaches, but for me, it's only worth making at the very peak of peach season. Enjoy! Ingredients:
8 -10 peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces |
1/4 cup boiling water |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425. In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles course meal. Stir in water until just combined.
3. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle the entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
